The Art of Listening: Lori Darley, the Transitions Coach

“The Art of Listening” will ask this important question: What’s in the way of our effectively listening to one another and what can we do about it? If you think about your typical day, the number of messages that compete for your attention and distract us from the present moment represents but a tip of the iceberg. Have you ever noticed yourself in a conversation with someone and just simply didn’t hear what the person was saying? You’re not alone. The external noise is only a small part of the distraction. The other and more significant piece, of course, is how you listen to your own internal conversation. In this fun and interactive discussion, Lori will provide practical tools to not only improve your own listening skills but also offer a few, more generous places to “listen from” such that you will notice an improvement in both your business and personal relationships.
